One of the coolest superheroes is the amazon warrior and princess Diana, a.k.a Wonder Woman. You can create a great Wonder Woman design even with a short amount of time thanks to one stroke and stencils. This step by step of my Wonder Woman design is perfect to use on the job, and if you got more time you can always add shadows and more details. Hope you like it!

Step 1: First Stroke

I used a homemade one stroke for my Wonder Woman tiara with shimmering grey, gold, yellow and white but you can of course use a yellow/black or gold one stroke for this design. Start by making the first stroke over the forehead using a 3/4" angled brush with the darkest colour on the bottom.

Step 2: Second Stroke

Make a little direction mark with your brush in the centre so the tiara will look symmetrical. Paint the second stroke from one side, down to the centre, up again and finish on the other side.

Step 3: Top Part of the Tiara

Twist the brush and paint the little centerpiece in the middle with the darkest part of the brush pointed up.

Step 4: Black and White

Outline the tiara and paint some thin lines using a #1 round brush and waxy black. Add some highlights with a #1 round brush and waxy white, and paint a big starburst in the middle. Put a gemstone in the middle if you want.

Step 5: Final Touches

For the final touches, use a petal shaped sponge and shimmering blue for eye shadows and paint some white around it. Paint some black eyelashes from the outer corner of the eyes. Use a finger-sponge and a star stencil to add that old school comic book Wonder Woman look. Outlining the stars is optional. Add some red lipstick.

If you got time left and want to do something extra, you can always add some arm paintings as well, it will look very cool. Use the same one stroke and fill in the middle part with a sponge, gold and yellow paints. Add a big red star on top and outline the design with black and finish it off with white highlights.
